There are over 350,000 apps on the iTunes AppStore, this personal security app – BuddyGuard could save your life, and it doesn’t cost you a dime.
BuddyGuard offers several security protections to iPhone users such as instant protection, fall detection, crash detection, secure meetings and emergency SMS.
Instant Protection
With two taps, your phone will begin recording images, audio, and your GPS location and sending them to a server in the cloud. It’s like your own black box.
No matter what happens to you or your device, that evidence is remotely secured and can be delivered to friends and family within seconds.
Fall Detection
When activated, an alert is sent to friends, family, or GEOS the moment your body is in a free-fall without you ever having to press a button.
When Fall Detection is activated, BuddyGuard monitors the accelerometer in your smartphone and sends an alert if the phone is in free fall for more than 1 second.
Crash Detection
When activated, an alert is sent the moment the phone detects an impact registering 5 G’s or more. The average bike crash is 10 G’s and the average car crash is 30 G’s. On the iPhone, BuddyGuard must be running in the foreground for this feature to work.
Secure Meetings
Schedule an exchange with someone you don’t know? Have an errand that takes you to a place you’re unfamiliar with?
Entering this information into BuddyGuard will not only serve to remind you of your appointment, but after a short period of time BuddyGuard will automatically check in with you to ensure that all went according to plan.
Emergency SMS
BuddyGuard is optimized to work with smartphones, but you can still take advantage of its notification service from any SMS capable phone. Just send a simple “SOS” text message to the BuddyGuard number to trigger an alert to be sent to friends and family.
And if you know your general location, send “SOS (+ location)” to include a Google Map marking your location in the emergency email to buddies.
